Chris Conley Week 14 Outlook - 49ers at Saints

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Thu, Dec 5th 2019, 1:16pm EST

His seven-plus target streak ended at five games in Week 13, though he still saw five targets and finished with four catches for 57 yards. He's been a solid bye week filler over the last month-and-a-half, but you shouldn't be trusting him in the first week of the fantasy playoffs, as the Chargers are about as tough as it gets. There have been just nine receivers all year who've been able to finish as top-36 options against them, which obviously amounts to less than one per game. The only receivers who've been able to hit double-digit PPR points without seeing a minimum of seven targets were Courtland Sutton and DeVante Parker, two receivers who've been every-week starters. They both needed to score touchdowns to get there. Conley has scored just twice all season. It does help that Chark will likely get Casey Hayward in near shadow coverage, but it's no time to get cute against a defense allowing the fourth-fewest points per game to wide receivers. He's just a high-end WR5.
